the  main  assumptions  in  liner  mixed  model  are normality  and  independency  of  random  effect component.   unfortunately,   these   two  assumptions   might   be  unrealistic   in  some   situations. therefore, in this paper, we will discuss about the analysis of bayesian analysis of non-normal and non-independent mixed model using skew-normal/independent distributions, and finally, thi...

The costs of credit and accountability are good incentives for the Central Bank to increase independence. Independence of power and attention to economic policymaking in monetary decision-making can have a positive effect on the level of economic organization independence. The independent organization of the Central Bank has provided a plan for controlling inflation due to the importance of ind...

It has been well known that edge filters in the visual system can be generated by the InfoMax principle. In this paper, the “InfoMin” principle is proposed, which asserts that the information through some neighboring signals on a two-dimensional mapping must be minimized. It is shown that the standard Comon’s ICA can be derived from the combination of the InfoMax principle for the whole signals...

We consider policies that manage fixed-size dynamic linear lists, when the references follow the independent reference model. We define the counter scheme, a policy that keeps the records sorted by their access frequencies, and prove that among all deterministic policies it produces the least expected cost of access, at any time.

This paper formulates a set of minimal requirements for the Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). It then defines the Use Case, Responsibility Driven Analysis and Design methodology (URDAD) which provides a simple, algorithmic design methodology generating a PIM satisfying the specified PIM requirements. 2008 Elsevier B.V.
